This app works for every regular expression that I threw at it. A great little app to build and keep a library of commonly used expressions. You can spend .99$ on a fart program or do something productive with your dollar.
This app doesn't handle standard escape sequences like \s+ or substitutions using s/foo/bar/ There are javascript web apps more useful than this app. Save your $0.99 for iFart
Overall, this app is worth the price, but it falls short of what it could be (which would make me pay more willingly). 1) Make it more readable - the fonts used are too tiny and there is no way to change them that I could find. Tough when you have poor vision. 2) A real, built-in reference to regex soul be very helpful, along with a way to build expressions from it. I've been using regular expressions for over 20 years, and I still forget half the time what I'm doing... There is potential here, and the author should be encouraged. Ignore the other review where the writer seems to think an editor command is necessary.
